Time 20m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 red, ripe tomatoes, about 2 pounds
4 to 6 small zucchini, about 1 pound, trimmed
1 bunch scallions, trimmed
4 hard-cooked eggs, cut lengthwise into quarters
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
2 tablespoons Dijon-style mustard
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon finely minced garlic
1 teaspoon anchovy paste
Salt to taste, if desired
Freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Cut away cores of tomatoes. Drop tomatoes into a basin of boiling water and let simmer about 9 to 10 seconds. Peel tomatoes and cut into 1-inch or slightly larger pieces. There should be about 4 cups.
  • Cut zucchini into thin 1/4-inch thick rounds. There should be about 3 cups.
  • Bring enough water to the boil to cover zucchini pieces when added. Add zucchini and cook about 1 1/2 minutes. Drain and run briefly under cold water. Drain well and set side.
  • Cut scallions crosswise into small pieces. There should be about 1 cup.
  • Put tomatoes in a large bowl and add zucchini, scallions and eggs.
  • Put vinegar and mustard in separate bowl. Start beating while gradually adding oil. Beat in garlic, anchovy paste, salt and pepper. Pour this over vegetables and toss to blend.
